Today we're proud to present our new music video for "One Bedroom." We teamed up with Invisible Children to give a look at the reality of what life is like for people in central Africa who are still being terrorized by Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army.
Working with Invisible Children was an incredible experience. We have never had the opportunity to connect our music to something so much bigger than ourselves in such a direct way.
Together we can put an end to this unnecessary violence and bring back the women and children who are still held captive

The goal of KONY 2012 was to make Joseph Kony famous to inspire the world to contribute to the international effort to stop his atrocities. And in just one month, over 100 million people have seen the film thanks to the support of you and so many others. It has been incredible to see global attention put on Joseph Kony, but fame is only the first step. We need to turn this awareness into informed action. Thatís why we made KONY 2012: Part II Ė Beyond Famous. It gives a closer look at the LRA, the international effort to stop them, the progress the campaign has made, and Cover the Night...

Thank you to those who continue to support both us, and Invisible Children.

Yesterday, a fire spread across the web of our social networks when Invisible Children posted a video to spread awareness of Joseph Kony. Beyond the topic of the video itself, it was very interesting to watch people's reactions to it throughout the afternoon, and their "knowledge" of what Invisible Children does and doesn't do. Seeing as word spreads quickly, IC had their own response to such "knowledge" which was also getting around the same social platforms as the video had just done. At the beginning of February, I went a week without social networks, I've been jotting down a lot of thoughts in the weeks that have passed with having it back, but I think yesterday's discussion, or lack...
